Gaza peace deal: Trump issues fresh warning to Hamas, says wouldn't tolerate "any delay"

US President Donald Trump on Saturday urged Palestinian terror group Hamas to "move quickly" to accept his peace plan for war-torn Gaza and thanked Israel for "temporarily stopping the bombing" that killed 10 people in Gaza City.

Asserting that he wouldn't tolerate "any delay", he warned Hamas to cease fighting and lay down its arms or else "all bets will be off". He also assured again that Israel and Hamas will be kept on board with the fragile agreement.

"I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the hostage release and peace deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let's get this done, fast. Everyone will be treated fairly!" he wrote on Truth Social.

On Friday, Trump asked Hamas to reach a peace deal with Israel by 6 pm on Sunday, warning that "otherwise all hell will break out". Trump also said that



Hamas was being given one last chance to accept his peace plan, release the Israeli hostages and call it a day of hostilities, saying "there will be peace one way or the other".

Trump's warning to Hamas came hours after 10 people were killed in a fresh Israeli airstrike in Gaza City, according to Palestinian media. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) did not comment on the air assault.

Quoting The Times of Israel, military sources said the IDF was still conducting defensive operations even though it paused its offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Shifa Hospital director Mohamed Abu Selmiyah told The Associated Press that Israeli strikes had "significantly subsided". His statement assumed significance as Gaza City had been placed under evacuation orders for weeks amid Israel's ground offensive against Hamas in the region.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will issue a statement shortly on the progress to a deal to end the war and release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
